I decided that if I were to write a teen series I'd want to set it in a place that was familiar to me - Manhattan where I'd grown up - and I'd model the characters on myself and my friends.
I'd never really babysat. I feel like I'm Blair or 'Gossip Girl.' A teenager...
I progressed through so many different styles of music through my teen years...
I have frequently been questioned especially by women of how I could reconcile family life with a scientific career. Well it has not been easy.
